Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Ohrid

Choosing private jet charter to Ohrid delivers a level of flexibility and comfort that commercial travel simply cannot match, particularly at a regional airport like OHD where private passengers benefit from dedicated ramp access and streamlined handling. There are no lengthy check-in queues or crowded departure halls; instead, passengers proceed directly to the aircraft, saving valuable time on both departure and arrival. Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport’s relatively compact infrastructure means private jet clients often experience faster turnaround times compared to larger hubs. Flexible scheduling allows arrivals and departures to align precisely with personal itineraries rather than fixed airline timetables.

About Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport

Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport (OHD / LWOH) is operated by Airports of North Macedonia and has served the Ohrid region for several decades, originally developed to support the growth of tourism to this UNESCO-listed destination.

Facilities include a passenger terminal with handling capabilities for both scheduled and charter operations, alongside customs and immigration services that process private arrivals efficiently. The airport sees increased traffic during the summer tourist season, when charter demand from Western European cities peaks significantly.
